Nutritional Guidelines For Breast Cancer Risk Reduction
- Portion Control – It’s not only important to know what you’re eating but how much you’re eating. Serving sizes are easy to figure out if you use your hand as a reference: 2 fingers = 1 serving of cheese, an open palm= 1 serving of meat, a closed fist= 1 serving of fruits or vegetables, a cupped hand= 1 serving of cereal or grain, tip of thumb= 1 serving of butter, oil or dressing
- Fruits and Vegetables - Try to get in at least 4 servings of fruits and 5 servings of vegetables a day.
- Types of Fat - We all need a little fat in our diets but there are different types of fat. Try to limit how many saturated fats you eat and avoid any trans fat.
- Fiber – Be sure to include lots of fiber in your diet. It lowers your cholesterol, keeps you regular and makes you feel fuller faster.
